Slaine is a comic Mongoose did an RPG of.
Dresden Files RPg is coming out this summer.
There is a Xena/Hercules RPG based on the TV shows.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel both got RPGs from Eden.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Moorcock's Hawkmoon and Corum books also got the RPG treatment from Chaosium.

Nivens & Barnes' Dream Park was made into an RPG by R. Talsorian games, and Nivens' Ringworld was made into an RPG as well.

Stewart Cowley's "Terran Trade Authority" book series of illustrations and fiction depicting a space-opera setting has been made into at least 2 different rpgs.

Justice Machine, an independent comic, was made into a setting for Palladium's Heroes, Inc. RPG.

Space: 1889 is generally inspired by the works of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells.

Spaceship Zero is inspired by the original Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon, as well as other similar serials and movies.

The Wildcards! shared-world superheroic setting has its own RPG.

Toon and BESM are inspired by genres of cartoons, not particular IP in particular.

Steve Jackson Games' flagship product, GURPS, features several licensed settings: Lois McMaster Bujold's adventures of Miles Vorkosigan (GURPS Vorkosigan); L. Sprague de Camp's stories of planet Krishna (GURPS Planet Krishna), Terry Pratchett's Discworld books (GURPS Discworld), E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman novels (GURPS Lensman), Jack Vance's tales of Tschai (GURPS Planet of Adventure), Gene Wolfe's New Sun chronicles (GURPS New Sun), and even games like Bungie Software's Myth (GURPS Myth), Firaxis Games' Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (GURPS Alpha Centauri). R. Talsorian Games' Castle Falkenstein (GURPS Castle Falkenstein), Pinnacle Entertainment Group's Deadlands (GURPS Deadlands), and a version of the classic sci-fi game about the colonization of the solar system (GURPS Traveller).

And of course, properties like Star Wars and Star Trek have inspired MULTIPLE licensed RPGs.

 

[Relique du Madde]

There's Champions... Though that's more of a TTRPG that was licensed/purchased for use in a MMORG...

Also, Record of the Lodos War, an video-game/anime/manga/book-series based on a DnD story hour published in a Japanese TTRPG magazine during the 1980s.

 

[Fast Learner]

Dallas: The Television Role-Playing Game

Beowulf

The Legacy of Zorro

Amber Diceless Role-Playing

Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game

Dragonball & Dragonball Z

On Stage (Shakespeare)

Red Dwarf, the Roleplaying Game


King Arthur Pendragon

 

[Deset Gled]

Battletech seem to be missing.

Also, Record of Lodoss War was originall based on D+D, but eventually spawned it's own RPG based off of the manga/anime

 

[Knightfall]

Okay, I've added a specific category for manga/anime.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Y'know, even though I've been in the hobby since '77, this thread has been an education- I didn't know about several of these.

And while I'm not in your class, I'm finding this VERY interesting.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I don't know if you're interested in this at all, but there are also games that started off as RPGs and became CCGs (like Mutant Chronicles & Doomtrooper), or vice versa, like Legend of the Five Rings (which got its own RPG and became 3Ed's setting for Oriental Adventures).

Or how Crimson Skies was first released as a wargame which spawned a videogame and a tabletop minis game.

Interest in this topic lead me to the following pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_role-playing_games_by_genre
List of role-playing games by name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you do a page search for the word "based" you'll find a number of systems that you missed. I'm quite surprized how many more there are, as I thought your list was rather complete.
